Jeremy Ray Meeks (born February 7, 1984) is an American fashion model, actor, and convicted felon. A former member of the Crips street gang, Meeks was arrested in 2014 during a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, California. Afterward, police posted his mugshot on Facebook, which went viral due to his perceived physical attractiveness. He was convicted on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and grand theft. Meeks' mugshot was noticed by modeling agencies and, upon his release from Mendota Federal Correctional Institution in March 2016, he began a modeling career.
